The Muk En Workshop

Finally my church organized something different. Something which it isn't way towards spiritual side. Something more real-life, in other word.

Last year we encountered the world economy crisis. This, eventually affected our country, Malaysia as well. What about 2010. What is the trend of economic of our country. Something which is not really to the concern of the young generation, a person like me.

[or maybe it's only me who is not concerning about it?]

The church invited a speaker to give a sharing about this issue. This is what I've just mentioned above, the something different.

The speaker himself is a business. MBA holder. Owned 2 companies. One in Malaysia and one is Vietnam. He is... [can't remember. I threw the flyer away already]

To put this simple: He is experienced businessman la`

He's not the speaker. Don't get me wrong. So the topic attracts most of my church adults to attend. I'm one of the adults too, this time. Young adult, to be exact. I attended. When real adults meet together, they start to talk real thing.

Young adults, like me. We are likely to talk about nonsense. How sad.

Oh well.. surprisingly there were many young adults attending the workshop. It's a good sign. It showed that young people from Muk En are pretty thirsty for something new.

[or maybe it is just something new to me? - pathetic]

I tell you. I can't remember his name. Neither I can remember the speaker's name. He was the emcee for the night. After all his hilarious prologue of play. And the workshop starts.

I could not remember much. Plus, I am really bad with economic thingy. What I remembered are:

1.) Malaysia is growing. However if happen to compare among the countries within this region, countries like Singapore, Philippine, Indonesia, ... Malaysia is having the lowest growth since the early stage.

Today Philippine, Indonesia or even Vietnam are picking up fast. Eventually over shoot my country.

2.) The country is so lack of skilled people or professionals. Comparing with Taiwan, Japan, Singapore... My country is WAY WAY WAY WAY LACKING of those people. Investors are losing the favor investing in our country.

Every single day, there are 6000 people migrating out from Malaysia. Malaysia is losing all the smart brains. Perhaps I shall follow those people. Migrate out.

3.) Base on all those charts, reports, numbers, statistics, you-name-it.. Vision 2020 may be a dream-difficult-to-come-true.

I was wondering "HOOOOOWWWWW le if like this..." Frankly, I don't know how. This is the reality now.

Got dinner to makan. Makan ba` and forget about everything.

There are many other things which I can't put them into words because I don't UNDERSTAND.

We gave Mr. Ngu a token of appreciation. Thanking him for opening my eyes and mind to SEE clearly what's happening in my country at the moment. Especially on the economic side. 2010 is a recovery year. 1 Malaysia.. Go.

To my brothers and sisters. If you happen to miss the workshop last night. Perhaps you can proceed to the church office. The whole session is recorded down.

I am awaiting for the next week workshop. It is touch on Income Tax. That is, again something totally new to me. I shall learn it because I am a working person now.
